Capital’s student-centered approach to education extends far beyond the classroom to focus on your needs and interests as they evolve throughout your college career.
Center for Computational Studies
Capital’s computational studies minor is at the cutting edge of education. And we’ve got the hardware to match. You’ll be able to power-crunch numbers like the pros in two on-campus labs: the Advanced Computational Laboratory and the Battelle Visualization Laboratory. Looking for more power? Capital’s Computational Studies students also have the opportunity to use supercomputers at the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
Honors Program
If you have a passion for academics — and an ACT score to match — you may be invited to join Capital's Honors Program. This distinctive program combines intensive learning with the support of a friendly community of fellow honors students. Weekly seminars allow you to explore new topics in an informal environment, and you will be encouraged to participate in the annual Honors Day Symposium on Undergraduate Scholarship. You will also have priority for class registration; the opportunity to join honors-based organizations, and even a chance to live on our honors floor in Cotterman Hall.
